Tohoku Sights

To-shichi Onsen

Fodor's Review

You have to drive to this one. This year-round spa area—elevation 4,593 feet at the foot of Mt. Mokko-dake, off the winding Route 23 Aspite Line Road (before Goshogake if coming from Morioka), is a popular Spring skiing resort. The actual place that is officially called To-shichi Onsen is on the east side Mt. Mokko-dake on the side of the road of Route 318. Visit in early October, when the autumn colors are fantastic.
